i
You left that morning
without a word
    leaving behind
tomorrow's eclipse
and stillborn breaths,

but I remember
when
love came softly

moments
when passion paused
  only long enough
to inhale the constellations.

ii
I trip over stardust,
as the moon turns away
and know, 

I am the only one 
who can still taste the comets
in those fractured seconds 
when time stood still
and the stars still burned

I have been reading poetry

I have been reading poetry since the Spring of1973, and, in all that time, this is one of the most brilliant uses of astronomy as metaphor that I have ever read.  And, although this may sound trite, this reminds me of the fragment of a poem recited in an early episode of Star Trek, in which the sense of the cosmos, out there, gave the poem so much more resonance.  This is exactly what happens in your poem.  I am just overwhelmed by it, and I found it by random browsing.  In my opinion, this poem is one of the centerpieces of your entire collection, and I am very, very grateful to have found it.  I am going to bookmark it so i can come back and visit again.
